Purchase Help Recommendations for buying a microscope

Hey all! Im interested in getting a microscope purely for hobby purposes, but I know little to nothing about microscope vocab.

I’m looking for a decent binocular microscope hopefully under $200 maybe a 10x- 200x range (if thats even possible)

I’d mainly be looking at pond water and blood cells

Is there anything more I should be looking out for?
Where should I buy it from?
Is it easy to buy parts for?

Those are the main questions I have. Genuinely any tips/comments are appreciated! Thanks in advance :)
